Communicative ideas used back home

I was doing my chores and I usually use the BBC's Listen Again service to find some radio programme to listen to as I do them. Today I was listening to Ha Ha..., a Radio 4 comedy clip programme about studying. This week it focuses on Foreign Languages. About ten minutes from the end, it starts talking about how languages are taught in the UK and there's an interview with a French-teacher from Yorkshire. This guy tries to get his students motivated and his lessons interesting by using songs, chants and jokes. It reminded me of the things we can use in our team-teaching classes and gave me one or two ideas too.
